WALL Street is on heightened Chicken Little alert. The much-feared Friday the 13th passed without a market crash – in fact, the Dow soared 184 points – but that hasn’t stopped some prognosticators of doom from predicting tumbling stock prices.

Financial astrologers – people who predict stock price movements based on the sun, moon and stars – say the total eclipse of the sun last week is a bad, bad sign.

One of them, Arch Crawford, believes the zodiacal charts call for a 1,000-point drop in the Dow in just one day.

Which day?

Well, Crawford isn’t sure exactly. But it will be sometime in the next two weeks, he says.
